Hope After Being Scammed: A Student’s Appeal
Hope After Being Scammed: A Student’s Appeal
My name is Andrea, and I am a graduating student who is supposed to finish my degree next month. I never imagined that I would be in a situation where I would need to ask for help like this, but I am hoping that by sharing my story, kind people may help me get through this difficult time. Over the past month, my family has been struggling financially because my father has been taking continuous medications. Our daily expenses and his treatment have already been difficult for us to manage, and like many families, we are doing everything we can just to get by each day. Wanting to help ease the burden on my family, I made a decision that I thought would help us. I tried to take a loan so I could assist with our needs and settle some of my school expenses before graduation. Unfortunately, instead of receiving the loan, I became a victim of an online scam. What makes this situation even more painful is that the money that was taken from me was not entirely mine. I had borrowed money from people I trust, promising that I would return it as soon as possible once I secured the loan. Instead, I was left with nothing and the responsibility to repay what I owe. I have been carrying this quietly because I do not want to add more stress to my family, especially to my father whose health is already fragile. They do not know the full extent of what happened because I do not want my situation to worsen his condition. At the same time, I still have remaining school fees that I must settle in order to graduate next month. I have worked hard for years to reach this point. My dream after graduation is to continue studying and pursue law, but right now I am afraid that everything I have worked for might be put on hold if I cannot resolve this situation. I am humbly asking for any help or support that could assist me in repaying the money I owe and settling my remaining school obligations so I can graduate. Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to me during this difficult time. More than anything, I am hoping to recover from this setback, keep my promise to the people who trusted me, and continue pursuing my education and my dream of becoming a lawyer someday. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness you may extend.

Building A Masjed- Mohamad Ali Daaboul
محمد علي دعبول يبلغ من العمر 17 عامًا فقط… شابًا مليئًا بالحياة، بالإيمان، وبالأحلام. في يوم ماراثون بيروت، وعلى بُعد كيلومترات قليلة من خط النهاية، سقط على الأرض فجأة. بقي ممددًا لما يقارب 30 دقيقة دون إسعاف حقيقي… دون استجابة طبية عاجلة… دون جهاز إنعاش (AED) قد ينقذ قلب شاب كان لا يزال ينبض بالحياة. وبينما كان يصارع بين الحياة والموت، استمر السباق… واستمر الاحتفال… وكأن شيئًا لم يحدث. كانت والدته تشارك في الماراثون نفسه، لا تعلم أن ابنها كان يحتضر. وجدته لاحقًا على الأرض، والعداؤون يحاولون إنعاشه بقلوب مرتجفة. وعندما وصلت سيارة الإسعاف أخيرًا، لم تكن مجهزة، ولم يكن فيها جهاز إنعاش، ورفضت حتى أن تنقل والدته معه. رجلٌ غريب من منزل قريب كان أرحم، فأخذ الأم بسيارته إلى المستشفى. هذا الألم سيبقى في قلب عائلته ما حيوا. لكن محمد علي لم يكن مجرد شاب يركض… كان قلبه معلقًا بالمسجد. لم يكن يترك صلاة. كان يحفظ القرآن. كان قريبًا من الله. وكانت آخر صلاة له هي الفجر — صلاها في أرض الماراثون قبل أن يبدأ السباق. قال رسول الله ﷺ: «إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث: صدقة جارية، أو علم يُنتفع به، أو ولد صالح يدعو له». واليوم بين أيدينا فرصة أن نهدي محمد علي صدقة جارية تبقى له في قبره نورًا ورحمة — أن نبني مسجدًا باسمه. تخيلوا كل أذان يُرفع، وكل سجدة تُسجد، وكل آية تُتلى، وكل دعاء يُبكى به داخل هذا المسجد، يكون نورًا له في قبره ورفعةً في درجاته. وقال رسول الله ﷺ: «من بنى لله مسجدًا بنى الله له بيتًا في الجنة». فلنبنِ له هذا البيت… لنجعل من هذه الفاجعة بابًا للرحمة. تبرعوا بما تستطيعون، فوالله ما عند الله لا يُقاس بحجم المبلغ بل بصدق النية. وإن لم تستطيعوا التبرع، فانشروا الرسالة وادعوا له دعاءً صادقًا من قلوبكم. نسأل الله أن يغفر له، ويرحمه، ويوسّع قبره نورًا، ويرفعه إلى أعلى درجات الفردوس ويجعل هذا المسجد صدقةً جاريةً له و لكل من ساهم إلى يوم القيامة WHISH OR WESTERN UNION: Wael Daaboul +961 3 800 379 Mohamad Ali Daaboul was only 17 years old. A boy full of life, faith, and dreams. On the day of the Beirut Marathon, just kilometers away from the finish line, he collapsed and fell to the ground. He laid there for nearly 30 long minutes without proper medical help — no immediate ambulance, no AED, no urgent care rushing to save him. Even though he died, the marathon continued, the celebration continued ,the finish line remained open. His mother was running that same race, unaware that her son was on the ground. She later found him on the ground, surrounded by runners desperately trying to perform CPR. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was not equipped with an AED. It was not prepared. It even refused to take his mother with him. A stranger from a nearby home showed more mercy and drove her to the hospital himself. This is the pain his family now carries every single day. Mohamad Ali was not just a runner. He was a young man attached to the masjid. He never missed his prayer. His heart was connected to Allah. He was memorizing the Qur’an. And his last prayer was Fajr — prayed on the field before the marathon began. The Prophet ﷺ said: “When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.” Today, we have the opportunity to give Mohamad Ali something that will continue for him in his grave — a masjid built in his name. Imagine every adhan called, every sujood made, every ayah recited, every tear shed in dua inside that masjid becoming light for him. This will be Sadaqa Jareya not only for him, but also for everyone who donates. The Prophet ﷺ also said: “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” Let us build this house for Mohamad Ali. Let us turn this tragedy into mercy. Donate whatever you can — no amount is small in the sight of Allah. And if you cannot give, share this message and make sincere dua for him. May Allah grant him Jannat Al-Firdaws, expand his grave with light, and accept this masjid as eternal reward( SADAQA JAREYA) for him and for whoever helps. Ameen.
